Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! The lads are back to preview GW32.
GW32 is indeed a double, with both Crystal Palace and Newcastle having two fixtures. Both of the Toon Army's fixtures are at home, while the Eagles face two of the league's top six away... but can Oliver Glasner's side cause some upsets? And with a view to DGW33 featuring Arsenal and Aston Villa, their tough European fixtures will inevitably mean Premier League rotation, with popular assets like Saka, Saliba and Morgan Rogers offering a fair amount of risk to FPL managers. The lads run through the permutations.
With recent radars focusing heavily on DGW33 players, and with next week's radar likely to do the same, the lads take a slightly different approach this week. One very affordable Newcastle asset features on the mid-range, along with a team whose defence is posting good numbers (despite some calamitous recent individual errors!). A budget forward also gets a radar spot.
Swimming Against The Tide also features a unique move from the lads, featuring two players in the top 9 most transferred out - but these two are the only ones not carrying a flag in FPL. The advice: hold them, if you can!
Alexander Isak will be a very popular FPL captain this week - and indeed, for many, a triple captain - but there are other options too, with some decent teams with good assets playing relegation fodder.
And there is a return, finally, for Who The Heck Is Stat?!
